Product Overview
Elbows and forearms can take plenty of knocks when you're moving around cover or working close to rough surfaces. Rothco Hard Shell Forearm Guards combine a rigid outer shell with cushioned backing to help protect these exposed areas against impacts and abrasions. Sold as a pair, they provide coverage for both arms and include a nylon gear bag for storage and transport.
A hard outer shell with padding underneath
The non-reflective polycarbonate exterior forms a protective barrier between your arms and the surfaces you encounter. For airsoft players, that makes these guards worth considering for loadouts involving frequent contact with barricades, ground surfaces, or other field obstacles. The non-reflective finish also avoids a shiny exterior on your tactical gear.
Underneath the shell, mesh-covered EVA foam adds cushioning between the hard material and your arm. The two layers serve different purposes: the polycarbonate provides the outer shield, while the foam makes contact with the guard more comfortable. This combination is useful when you want more than a fabric layer over your elbows and forearms.
Adjust the fit at three points
Three hook-and-loop closures on the back of each guard let you adjust the tightness rather than relying on a fixed fit. You can fine-tune the closures around your arms and the clothing you intend to wear underneath. When setting them up for a game, check the fit with your usual field clothing and bend your elbows before heading out.
- Sizing: One-size design with adjustable closures.
- Quantity: Sold in pairs.
- Included storage: Nylon gear bag.
The included bag keeps the pair together between uses and gives them a dedicated place in your equipment kit. These guards are intended for elbow and forearm coverage, making them a focused addition to a tactical loadout rather than a full-arm covering.
